Goodbye 2023! Happy New Year and Hello 2024! I have learned some of the hardest lessons that I have had to learn in a long while. From navigating different methods to take care of my mental health to learning that how to place boundaries for those who trigger me as I work through healing things in my place.
More Growth in 2024
Every year I see an expansion. From the fun, to the work there are so many opportunities to create the life that I want. I want more of it next year. For me, looking for the wisdom to handle the increase, get a team, and step out in the front even more. Trust me enlarging my territory isn’t just about singing a pretty song. What ways are you looking to grow this New Year?
2024 Financial Freedom
One area I want increase in is finances. Not just in more zeros behind my brand deals but in the way that I have access to it. This means to me that I am able to move in ways that allow it to come from me. For instance around the holidays I take joy in making it happen without the help of my husband. As a wife I love that he’s going to work with me to make sure there is no lack. However as a woman and Mom I want to expand. I love being able to do things financially on my own in larger scales. So I am adding that all trips, vacations, and more are financed by me in totality.
What sparks you in the New Year
Drive? Creating? Is it building! Is it collaborating? Sometimes collaboration is a means of surviving and thriving. As much as I love being in my home and not interacting with others all the time, I’ve learned how much I need others. What can you do to reach across the aisle? Do those things more! Don’t be so caught up in not taking care of just you! Of course take care of you but not so much that you forget to help others around you! Finding my voice and learning to say no more has been the newests sparks. In November I set out to streamline the business even more. Every billing period I would stress over certain clients inability to pay on time.
It wasn’t a matter of them not having the money. It was more about them nickel and diming me every chance they get. Now that I sent out new billing practices that were to take over this month, immediately for December payments were made on time. Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur until it’s time to chase your coins all around the city.
Thanks for an Amazing Year
This year has been a little better than the last. I had a few more collaborations and partnerships. I am grateful for that. Also this year I feel like I have leveled up in major ways too. So I hope that whatever you looked for this year has come true. In 2024 I am looking for more collaborations, brand trips and more fun in this work life balance.
